Former Arizona QB Khalil Tate signs with CFL’s Toronto Argonauts

Khalil Tate is having another go at the Canadian Football League.

The Toronto Argonauts signed the former Arizona quarterback this week, marking Tate’s second stint in the CFL. Tate previously signed with the Edmonton Elks but never suited up for the franchise.

Toronto’s signing of Tate follows the retirement of Argonauts quarterback Austin Simmons.

Tate will fill a backup role for the Argonauts, who are led by McLeod Bethel-Thompson, a veteran quarterback out of Sacramento State. Whereas Bethel-Thompson is a traditional pocket passer, Tate is known for his athleticism and running ability.
